No problem. A copy did come up on eBay a few weeks ago but has since sold or been ended. Think it was up for about £200.

They are indeed smaller. The series ranges in size from 13mm down to 9.6mm for the Threepences.

This curious mule is listed in Rogers as Rogers 2467. It is a nice piece to have existed as it proves that the American Model series was made by Joseph Moore, as the Obv die is the same as the Royal Medalet series. The size difference is not quite correct, as the other model coin you show is a Half Eagle ($5.00) rather than a Half Dollar.

Those are rare - nice find! Now that you've mentioned the 1911 series, I picked this up a few months ago. Oddly, it included a few of each denomination known, except the florin, which was missing entirely. So I think you may have the rarest of a rare set!

That’s correct - some say this is where the saying “Know your Onions” comes from, but I can’t be sure. A (presumably) full set of these in the original mesh purse, in the original cardboard box does exist in private hands. When I remarked to the current owner that it must have been expensive, they replied “it cost an arm and three legs”.

Here are examples of the Blackpool Tower & Blackpool Wheel "Half Farthings" that copper123 mentions above. Apologies for poor photos, the toning on these is very dark - almost akin to the mint darkened farthings of similar period.

A really nice set! You've done well to get that! The smaller size ones are so hard to come by.

That is seriously rare! Only 3rd known example I am aware of, after Rogers example, and my own example. It's likely that David Magnay also had at least 1 example, but I am unsure where the piece might now be, or if it could be this example, or my own.

All good here thank you, hope you are well too? The one on eBay is only the 4th example I am aware of - this one, my own one, and 2 within a (presumably) full set, in the original mesh purse, in the original box (which I can only wish I owned!). Interestingly, the 2 in the full set are different. One has a grained edge and another plain. Only ones I’m now missing are the Sovereign and Half Sovereign, which appear to be rarer than others likely because in the full set, there were only 1 and 2 examples of these respectively. The Penny however there were at least 6 of in each set, so more common. Like you, I’m amazed and pleased to see toy/model money achieving good prices! This one surprised me, and also some of the H Hyams Model Crowns seen in good condition also, fetching £200+ each recently.

Hi Larry, not me, as I already have one, and it wasn’t the person who I thought was going to win either (I won’t name them as I don’t think they are a member). No idea who got it, but congrats to them, as it’s a very rare piece.

I would say it works on the same principles, coins sliding along a built frame, used for teaching children.

I recently obtained an almost complete set of the Education Union series - just the Shilling outstanding, where I know of only 1 example. Photos to come in following posts.

There aren’t too many that I’m aware of, but a handful - perhaps 10. A big thank you to Larry and others who have kept this thread updated regularly with fresh material.

Here is something that isn’t seen too often. This is part of a set that would have had 2 loops on the back and would’ve slid along wires (similarly to an abacus I guess). There are not many around, and even less with the loops still attached. Hoping to get my hands on some more in a few weeks, will update the thread when they come in.
